CONTINUOUS IRON PRODUCTION – LONG LIFE STAVES
Learn about failure free stave cooling technologies that let you maximize production
As a blast furnace operator, you require a consistent, reliable, predictable operation over the lifetime of the campaign without the need for intervention (unplanned maintenance / downtime). Primetals Technologies design and supply innovative stave cooling technologies to let you maximize production.
SEVEN REASONS WHY YOU NEED OUR STAVE TECHNOLOGIES
- Prevents common causes of failure
- Reliable operation
- Prolonged campaign life
- Maintenance free
- Reduced operating costs
- Fast payback period
- Resistant to low quality burden materials

BEND-RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY
Primetals Technologies patented anti-bending solution allows the staves cooling water pipes to move during thermal expansion but prevents bending at the critical points
- Prevents against premature failure of cooling water pipe connections
- Prevents against bending of the stave corners
- Prevents against unplanned maintenance and downtime
- Increases safety (no water leaks)
- Extends campaign lifetime of the blast furnace
WEAR-RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY
Primetals Technologies patent pending wear-resistant solution self-protects the stave against abrasive wear ensuring that a protective accretion layer is always present at the hot face. Inserts that create a “stone-box” effect trapping unreduced burden materials
- Inserts encourages the formation of a protective layer that rapidly reforms
- Reduces burden velocity at the stave hot face
- Prevents against unplanned maintenance and downtime
- Inserts can be fitted to a traditional stave
- Extends campaign lifetime of the blast furnace
